With a balance of concrete skill development and opportunities for social enrichment, TIES instills confidence and courage in its members."

"I find Longhorn TIES extremely helpful, especially in helping students on the spectrum reach success academically and socially. I would recommend it to anyone."

"TIES helped me figure out ways to succeed in my challenging classes. I learned how to overcome my challenges in academics, with social skills and in my personal life."

"TIES was an incredible support through my time at UT. It meant a lot to me to be able to process and plan my weeks, working on larger life goals alongside all of the little tasks. It gave me a lot more security and confidence that I was able to carry forward."

"This semester, I feel like my progression of becoming more independent grew tremendously, thanks to the TIES Coaching Meetings."
